Default Custom Ralston Knife

a while back I started talking with Custom Knife Maker, Kim Ralston about making me one of his knives. he had several styles that I liked but I ended up choosing his "Glenwood" model only modified slightly so it would work better for sticking Hogs.

Kim is a true master so after telling him what I was going to use it for and what I wanted the scales made from I just let him run with it and the finished knife really turned out fantastic!

for now Kim is calling it the "Pig Sticker". It's built with 1/8" D2 steel with hand rubbed finish and Merino Rams horn scales with cinnamon liners and mosaic pins. OAL is 11".












Kim doesn't have a website but he does have a facebook page with more examples of his outstanding work. https://www.facebook.com/kim.ralston.77

I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and can't wait for my next Ralston knife!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
